Definitions
- This invention relates to an enhanced process for amplifying a specific nucleic acid sequence and its rapid detection and quantitation using electrochemiluminescent labeled binding species.
- Detection and quantitation of a specific nucleic acid sequence present in a sample is a known diagnostic method with great specificity. This specificity is based on the knowledge of the specific sequence and the generation of probes which are specific and complementary.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,130,238 is directed toward an improved process for amplifying a specific nucleic acid sequence.
- the improvement of the amplification process involves the addition of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) alone or in combination with bovine serum albumin (BSA);
- DMSO dimethylsulfoxide
- BSA bovine serum albumin
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,683,195 is directed toward a process for amplifying and detecting any target nucleic acid sequence contained in a nucleic acid or mixture thereof
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,683,202 is directed toward a process for amplifying any desired specific nucleic acid sequence contained in a nucleic acid or mixture thereof;
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,486,539 is directed toward a method for identifying nucleic acids by a one-step sandwich hybridization test
- WO 91/02814 is directed toward a process for amplifying a specific nucleic acid sequence.
- the present invention requires no pretreatment of the sample such as binding to solid phases or membranes, denaturing of the sample, purification of the sample by extraction of oil, protein or by gel electrophoresis and the probes can be added directly to the amplification mixture hybridized and analyzed. This was surprising in the light of the potential that the probe sequences would be modified or cause sample destruction mediated by the enzymes and conditions in the amplification mixture. For example, the presence of RNAase H, which degrades hybrids between DNA and RNA (the basis of the probe hybridization), degrades the specific hybrids in any attempt to probe the impure amplification mix.
- the buffer contains many compounds which might cause problems both for hybridization and also for the generation of ECL by the specific chemistries involved, for example, high levels of salts MgCl 2 , KCl, nucleotides, dithiothreitol, spermidine, dimethyl sulphoxide, glycerol and proteins.
- This list contains many substances which interfere with other nucleic acid probe methods and would need to be removed to allow these methods to work, thus the present invention was surprisingly capable of carrying out a nucleic acid probe assay with such a simple protocol.
- This invention relates to a diagnostics process for detection of specific nucleic acid sequences generated by amplification which is rapid, has fewer steps, and requires less user time than conventional diagnostic methods.
- the amplification takes place at a relatively constant temperature generating a plurality of single stranded RNA species.
- the hybridization to probes follows this amplification and is carried out at a relatively constant temperature followed by analysis for the bound or complexed electrochemiluminescent species.
- the diagnostic process is both rapid and sensitive unlike other systems which require multiple cycles of incubations and multiple washes followed by multiple incubations for detection of nucleic acid.
- a process for amplifying a specific nucleic acid sequence is used followed by the addition of two oligonucleotide probes--one with a binding species, the capture probe (i.e., biotin or antigen) and one with an electrochemiluminescent label.
- the capture probe i.e., biotin or antigen
- the process involves the synthesis of single stranded RNA, single stranded DNA, and double stranded DNA.
- the single stranded antisense RNA is a first template for a second primer.
- the single stranded DNA is a second template for a first primer.
- the double stranded DNA is a third template for the synthesis of a plurality of copies of the first template.
- a sequence of the first or the second primer is sufficiently complementary to a sequence of the specific nucleic acid sequence and a sequence of the first or the second primer is sufficiently homologous to a sequence of the specific nucleic acid sequence.
- a second primer binds to the 3' end of the first RNA template and generates the second DNA template.
- a 3' end of the first primer hybridizes to the 3' end of the second DNA template.
- the second template is removed from the first template and is used to generate a complementary DNA strand.
- the resulting duplex DNA serves as a third template for synthesizing a plurality of first templates which in turn repeats the above described cycle.
- This process of amplification is described in detail by the following publications: Kievits et al., 35 J. Vir Method 273-286 (1991); Bruisten et al., 9 AIDS Res. and Human Retroviruses 259-265 (1993); EP 0 329 822-A2, WO 91/02818, WO 91/02814 (an essentially similar method is also described in WO 88/10315).
- samples from the said amplification are taken and a mixture of complementary probes and beads coated in a binding species complementary to one of the probes in hybridization buffer is added followed by incubation at a predetermined temperature to allow the hybridization of the probes to the said first template and the binding of one of the said probes to the beads via a binding interaction, i.e., antibody-antigen or biotin-streptavidin.
- a complex is formed which comprises the said first template generated from the amplification reaction as above hybridized to two said differing probe, one containing an electrochemiluminescent label and the other a binding species.
- This complex is further complexed to said coated bead which forms its complementary binding pair with the probe binding species.
- the resulting complex contains the amplified first template, the probe with its electrochemiluminescent label, the capture probe with its binding species, and the bead with its coating of binding species (see FIG. 1) all complexed via the specific interactions of each component. It will also be understood that the DNA sequences generated during the NASBA cycling will be targets for hybridization and detection.
- the interaction between the probe and the bead can be made prior to the hybridization step by formation of a covalent bond to said bead or via a binding species (where said binding species is coated either by covalent or non-covalent methods) interaction or indirectly via a covalent bond to a species which can non-covalently coat said bead.
- a binding species where said binding species is coated either by covalent or non-covalent methods
- An example of this indirect covalent coating could take the form of the probe being coupled to a carrier such as protein followed by coating via non-covalent methods to the bead surface.
- samples of the amplification would be mixed with a probe labeled with an ECL species and a bead which is coated with a binding species specific for the hybrid formed between said probe to the said amplified first template.
- a hybrid of DNA and RNA may be capture using a specific antibody.
- An example would be the use of an anti DNA:RNA antibody (U.S. Pat. No.
- the assay method may also be used to quantitate the amount of nucleic acid in the starting material. This is achieved by the addition to the samples of specific ⁇ spike ⁇ samples which are amplified during the reaction. The determination of the spike signal and sample signal allows a ratio to be calculated, which based on the original spike level, allows the determination of the sample level. This is most accurately determined by the use of multiple spikes which range in amount over the range of the potential sample amounts and allow the construction of a standard curve to give a reading at a ratio of 1:1 between target and sample. Methods based on this are well understood--Van Gemen et al., 43 J. Vir.
- the invention further provides a process for the detection of a specific nucleic acid sequence, comprising the steps of:
- RNA comprising an RNA first-template which comprises said specific nucleic acid sequence or a sequence complementary to said specific nucleic acid sequence, under conditions such that a cycle ensues wherein
- said RNA-directed DNA polymerase uses said RNA first template to synthesize a DNA second template by extension of said first oligonucleotide primer and thereby forms an RNA-DNA hybrid intermediate
- said DNA-directed DNA polymerase uses said second oligonucleotide primer as template to synthesize said promoter by extension of said DNA second template;
- said DNA-directed RNA polymerase recognizes said promoter and transcribes said DNA second template, thereby providing copies of said RNA first template;
- the invention further provides a process for the detection of amplified products comprising the steps of:
- “Amplified product” means nucleic acid sequences generated by copying sample nucleic acid sequences multiple times using an enzymatic reaction.
- Annealing refers to hybridization between complementary single chain nucleic acids when the temperature of a solution comprising the single chain nucleic acids is lowered below the melting or denaturing temperature.
- Binding species means any species known to bind with another molecular species and are normally defined as a pair of species but may be formed from higher complexes, i.e., 3 or 4 which bind, i.e., antibody:antigen or oligonucleotide:antibody or oligonucleotide:antigen or DNA:DNA or DNA:RNA or RNA:RNA or DNA:RNA:DNA or Biotin-DNA:DNA-ECL labeled or receptor:ligand or DNA binding protein such as restriction enzymes, lac repressor.
- the "complement" to a first nucleotide sequence is well known to be a second sequence comprising those bases which will pair by Watson-Crick hybridization with the first sequence.
- the complement to the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequence 5' ATGC 3' is well known to be 5'-GCAT 3'.
- each of the two strands are described as complementary to the other or as a complementary pair.
- the terms complement and anticomplement may also be used.
- the transcription strand is generally described as plus and its complement as minus ("+" and "-"), or the transcription strand may be described as the sense strand, and its complement as antisense.
- Two strands each hybridized to the other having all base pairs complementary are 100% complementary to each other.
- Two strands, each hybridized to the other, having 5% of bases non-complementary, are 95% complementary (or the two strands have 95% complementarity).
- nucleic acid sequences can form triple helix structures based on a specific interaction of three strands which would be considered to complementary in a specific way to each other within this triple stranded hybrid.
- ECL electrochemiluminescent
- Electrochemiluminescent (ECL) labels are those which become luminescent species when acted on electrochemically. Electrochemiluminescent techniques are an improvement on chemiluminescent techniques. They provide a sensitive and precise measurement of the presence and concentration of an analyte of interest. In such techniques, the sample is exposed to a voltammetric working electrode in order to trigger luminescence. The light produced by the label is measured and indicates the presence or quantity of the analyte.
- ECL Electrochemiluminescent
- ECL tags are tag NHS (N-hydroxy-succinimide) and tag phosphoramidite.
- the tag-NHS ester is useful for labeling substances containing free amino groups capable of reaction with the NHS ester to form an amide bond.
- the tag phosphoramidite (Gudibande et al. U.S. Appl. Ser. No. 07/805,537 entitled "Improved Electrochemiluminescent Label for DNA Probe Assay” which is hereby incorporated herein by reference) is useful for labeling substances containing free amino, sulphydryl, or hydroxyl groups forming phosphor-linkages especially phosphodiester linkages.
- ECL assay buffer is a general diluent which contains tripropylamine that is necessary for the electrochemical reaction on the electrode in an ECL analyzer.
- ECL diluent is a diluent reagent used in diluting solutions containing labile biomolecules for storage purposes.
- ECL apparatus is any apparatus for performing electrochemiluminescence based assays. Such ECL apparatus are described in PCT Appl. No. US 85/02153 by Bard et al. entitled “Luminescent Metal Chelate Labels and Means for Detection” and in PCT Appl. No. US 87/00987 by Massey et al. entitled “Electrochemiluminescent Assays”; PCT Appl.

- Homology between polynucleotide sequences refers to the degree of sequence similarity between the respective sequences. Two strands which are identical in sequence have 100% sequence homology. Two strands which differ by 5% of sequences have 95% sequence homology. The greater the degree of homology between two strands A and B, the greater the complementarity between A and the complement of B.
- Hybridization describes the formation of double stranded or duplex nucleic acid from complementary single stranded nucleic acids. Hybridization may take place between sufficiently complementary single stranded DNA and/or RNA to form: DNA:DNA, DNA:RNA, or RNA:RNA or DNA:RNA:DNA or Biotin-DNA:RNA:DNA-ECL label. This may also include sequences of nucleotides which are linked using modified natural chemistries such as phosphonate, phosphorothioate, alkyl or aryl phosphonate based nucleic acid sequences (Murakami et al., Biochemistry 24 (1985):4041-4046, also Glenn Research, Sterling, Va.).
- label or "labeled” when applied to a nucleic acid means that the nucleic acid in question is linked to a moiety which is detectable by its properties which may include: ECL and luminescence, catalysis of an identifying chemical substrate, radioactivity, or specific binding properties.
- label includes ligand moieties unless specifically stated otherwise.
- nucleic acid refers to a polynucleotide of any length, including DNA or RNA chromosomes or fragments thereof with or without modified bases as described herein.
- a “nucleotide” is at least one of the following bases: adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine or uracil, plus a sugar (deoxyribose for DNA, ribose for RNA), plus a phosphate. In order to provide monomers for the DNA polymerization reaction, typically all four of the deoxynucleotide triphosphates are required.
- a nucleotide, as defined herein, may also include modified bases such as 5-methyl-dCTP and 7-deaza-dGTP used to improve the action of polymerase on templates.
- nucleotide as used herein also includes bases linked to biotin and digoxigenin (Digoxigenin-11-UTP from Boehringer Mannheim, Indianapolis, Ind.) and biotin-21-UTP and amino-7-dUTP (Clontech, Palo Alto, Calif.) and ECL labeled nucleotide (see FIGS. 6 and 7) which may be incorporated directly into a primer or into a primer extension product during amplification, to provide for selective binding of amplified sequences.

- oligonucleotide is a sequence formed of at least two nucleotides.
- a "polynucleotide” is a long oligonucleotide and may be either RNA and DNA.
- oligonucleotide is generally used in the art to denote smaller nucleic acid chains
- polynucleotide is generally used in the art to denote larger nucleic acid chains including DNA or RNA chromosomes or fragments thereof
- use of one or the other term herein is not a limitation or description of size unless expressly stated to be.
- a “primer” is a relatively short segment of oligonucleotide which is complementary to a portion of the sequence of interest (the sequence of interest can be a subfragment within a larger nucleic acid sequence).
- a primer represents a 5' terminus of the resulting extension product.
- a primer which is complementary at its 3' terminus to the sequence of interest on the template strand enables this 3'terminus to be acted on by a polymerase on hybridization to the template. It is well known that modifications to the 3' end will affect the ability of an oligonucleotide to function as primer. An example is the incorporation of a dideoxynucleotide as in DNA sequencing thus preventing the action of DNA polymerases.
- the length of the primer will depend upon the particular application, but that 20-30 base pairs is a common size.
- a primer need not be a perfect complement for successful hybridization to take place. If the primer is an imperfect complement, an extension product will result which incorporates the primer sequence, and during a later cycle, the complement to the primer sequence will be incorporated into the template sequence.
- a properly selected primer having a sequence altered from that of the complement of the template may be used to provide in vitro mutagenesis.
- the primer may incorporate any art known nucleic acid bases, including any art known modified or labeled bases as defined above so that the primer extension product will incorporate these features to permit separation and detection of the primer extension product.
- a tag or marker advantageously linked to a primer may include an ECL fluorescent or luminescent tag, an isotopic (e.g., radioisotope or magnetic resonance) label, a dye marker, an enzyme marker, an antigenic determinant detectable by an antibody, or a binding moiety such as biotin enabling yet another indicator moiety such as a streptavidin coated bead to specifically attach to the primer or any nucleic acid sequence incorporating that primer.
- an isotopic label e.g., radioisotope or magnetic resonance
- a dye marker e.g., an enzyme marker, an antigenic determinant detectable by an antibody
- a binding moiety such as biotin enabling yet another indicator moiety such as a streptavidin coated bead to specifically attach to the primer or any nucleic acid sequence incorporating that primer.
- primer extension product describes the primer sequence together with the complement to the template produced during extension of the primer.
- a “probe” is a single or double stranded nucleic acid which has a sequence complementary to a target nucleic acid sequence of interest and which has some additional feature enabling the detection of the probe--target duplex.
- the probe and/or the target is double stranded, the double stranded nucleic acid must undergo strand separation before hybridization can take place. It is possible, if a triple strand formation is used, then the double stranded target will not need to be rendered single stranded prior to hybridization.
- a probe is rendered detectable by an attached tag or marker.
- a tag or marker linked to a probe may include a fluorescent, ECL or luminescent tag, an isotopic (e.g., radioisotope or magnetic resonance) label, a dye marker, an enzyme marker, an antigenic determinant detectable by an antibody, or a binding moiety such as biotin enabling yet another indicator moiety such as a streptavidin coated bead to specifically attach to the probe.
- an isotopic label e.g., radioisotope or magnetic resonance
- a dye marker e.g., an enzyme marker, an antigenic determinant detectable by an antibody
- a binding moiety such as biotin enabling yet another indicator moiety such as a streptavidin coated bead to specifically attach to the probe.
- the probe with its binding moiety allows the capture of labeled target, via hybridization and duplex formation, allowing detection by a label or other art known means.
- Sample means a mixture containing nucleic acids.
- sequence e.g., sequence, genetic sequence, polynucleotide sequence, nucleic acid sequence
- sequence refers to the actual enumerated bases (e.g., ribose or deoxyribose) present in a polynucleotide strand (e.g., reading from the 5' and 3' direction) and the relative position of these bases with respect to each other.
- single primer means a single, unpaired, specific or selected primer designed to selectively hybridize with a target nucleic acid sequence of interest.
- Specific nucleic acid sequence means a single stranded or double stranded nucleic acid which one could use as a probe or amplify.
- a "specific or selected" nucleotide sequence refers to a particular sequence distinguishable (i.e., by hybridization analysis) from other difference sequences (e.g., the specific nucleotide sequence 5'-ATGCCC-3' is not the same sequence as 5'-AAGCCC-3').
- a specific or selected primer is one which is designed to hybridize with a particular template sequence to achieve the desired result by making the primer complementary or approximately complementary to the 3' terminal of the template sequence.
- the specific primer will selectively achieve the desired result even if the target template sequence is present in a mixture of many other nucleic acid sequences.
- the specific or selected primer is distinguished from a "universal primer" which will indiscriminately anneal to any DNA sequence to which a complementary (to the primer) adaptor terminal sequence has been attached.
- a universal primer care must be taken to isolate the nucleic acid of interest, or otherwise direct the ligation procedure only to the desired DNA sequence of interest, to avoid randomly attaching the adaptor to all nucleic acid sequences present.
- a "strand” is a single nucleic acid sequence.
- a duplex or double stranded chromosome, chromosome fragment or other nucleic acid sequence may be separated into complementary single strands.
- “Strand separation” refers to the conversion of a double stranded or duplex nucleic acid to two complementary single stranded polynucleotide.
- the separation process may employ well known techniques including: enzyme mediated separation (e.g., by the enzyme helicase, physical-chemical separation (pH, ionic concentration and the like), and thermal separation also known as thermal denaturing.
- Thermal denaturing also referred to as “melting” is the separation of a double stranded polynucleotide (fully or partially duplex) into at least two single strands of polynucleotide by raising the temperature of the solution holding that polynucleotide.
- “Sufficiently complementary” means that two nucleic acids are capable of specific interaction which allows either a primer dependent and template directed synthesis of DNA or a probe to bind to nucleic acid sequence.
- a “template” is any sequences of nucleic acid upon which a complementary copy is synthesized. This may, in general, be DNA to DNA replication, DNA to RNA transcription, or RNA to DNA reverse transcription.
- a DNA template provides the sequence information for extension of the complementary primer by the DNA polymerase reaction.
- An RNA template may provide the sequence information for extension of a complementary DNA primer by an analogous reaction catalyzed by the enzyme reverse transcriptase
- the template may be found in a single or double stranded form. If the template enters the amplification process in the double stranded form, the template strand will not hybridize to its complementary primer until it is denatured by the first thermal denaturing cycle. If the template enters the amplification process already in the single stranded form, the primer will hybridize (described as annealing when thermal cycling is utilized) with its complementary template before the first thermal denaturing step.
- FIG. 1 is a general illustration of the nucleic acid hybridization process of the invention.
- Biotin labeled oligonucleotide probe along with ECL labelled oligonucleotide probe are mixed with a sample containing amplified target molecule conditions to form the complex shown.
- the illustrated probes bind specifically to distinct portions of the amplified target molecule.
- the strepavidin coated bead is separately reacted with the complex previously formed to form a second complex.
- the second complex is separated and/or contacted with an electrode surface (not shown) to induce light formation.
- FIG. 2. is a general illustration of an alternative nucleic acid hybridization process wherein a biotinylated antibody is used as a detectant for the oligonucleotide ECL labeled probe--amplified target molecule complex (I).
- the antibody prepared using conventional techniques, specifically binds with the oligonucleotide--amplified target molecule complex.
- FIG. 3 is a general illustration of an alternative nucleic acid hybridization process wherein a biotinylated nucleotide is incorporated into the amplified target molecule during the NAMBATM or NAMBATM-like amplification stage (see, for example, Kievitz et al. reference cited previously) which results in the formation of the amplification mixture from which the sample aliquot is taken.
- the biotinylated amplified target molecule as shown forms a complex with strepavidin coated beads.
- FIG. 4 is a general illustration of an alternative nucleic acid hybridization process the binding species is incorporated into the amplified target molecule via a biotinylated primer used in one of the NAMBATM or NAMBATM-like amplification stage.
- FIG. 5 is a general illustration of an alternative nucleic acid hybridization process the oligonucleotide probe is linked to the bead directly or indirectly through a covalent bond or a specific binding pair moiety.
- FIG. 6 is a general illustration of an alternative nucleic acid hybridization process wherein the ECL label(s) is (are) incorporated into the amplified target molecule during a previous amplification cycle in an NAMBATM or NAMBATM-like process.
- FIG. 7 is an ECL labeled nucleotide.
- This invention relates to a process for amplifying a specific nucleic acid sequence and its rapid detection and quantitation.
- the amplification involves an alternate synthesis for DNA and RNA.
- single stranded antisense (-) RNA is converted to single stranded DNA which in turn is converted to dsDNA and becomes a functional template for the synthesis of a plurality of copies of the original single stranded RNA.
- a first and a second primer are used in the amplification process.
- a sequence of the first primer or the second primer is sufficiently complementary to a sequence of the specific nucleic acid sequence and a sequence of the first or the second primer is sufficiently homologous to a sequence of the specific nucleic acid sequence.
- the primers can both be complementary and homologous.
- the detection, of the specific sequences which are amplified is achieved by the use of probe sequences which form hybrids with the amplification products either DNA or RNA. These probe sequences are generally sufficiently complementary to a sequence of the specific nucleic acid sequence which results in the formation of a specific hybrid. These hybrids are then detected by the use of an ECL detection instrument which allows the ECL label to generate light in a controlled fashion at the surface of an electrode allowing both its detection and quantitation (FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).
- the assays for these amplified products is possible using a number of formats.
- the preferred method makes use of two probe molecules after the amplification process one is labeled with a binding species (i.e., biotin, digoxin, fluorescein), the other probe is labeled with an ECL label (i.e., Ru chelate, Os chelate, Re, Rh).
- a binding species i.e., biotin, digoxin, fluorescein
- ECL label i.e., Ru chelate, Os chelate, Re, Rh
- This mixture of probes and amplified nucleic acid are allowed to hybridize by the control of the temperature and buffer components which are selected for the specific probe and plurality of RNA copies of the original single stranded RNA or DNA using methods known to those skilled in the art.
- the formation of these hybrids allows both probes to be linked in the same hybrid complex.
- These are then captured from the incubation by the addition of the magnetic beads which are coated with a binding species which binds to the binding species on the capture probe (FIG. 1).
- biotin on the probe streptavidin or avidin might be coated on to the magnetic beads or with digoxigenin on the probe an antibody specific for digoxigenin would be coated on the bead.
- This mixture of the hybrid complex and the bead would then be incubated under conditions known to promote the binding interaction of the binding species.
- These conditions for binding of binding species are well known to those skilled in the art; for example, biotin to streptavidin or avidin and antigen antibody interactions.
- the sample may be washed by capture of the beads by a magnet used in close proximity to the sample tube, or more ideally, the sample would be sampled directly into an ECL instrument which would capture the magnetic beads and its bound complex followed by the electrochemical reaction of the surface bound ECL label.
- the light generated from this electrochemical reaction is measured and used to determine the amount of ECL label which has formed a complex with the bead.
- This determination of the relative amounts of ECL label bound to the beads under certain conditions allows a determination of the amount of the plurality of RNA copies of the original single stranded RNA or DNA generated in the amplification. Using this information regarding the level of amplification of the specific DNA or RNA allows the diagnosis of the sample DNA or RNA for the presence of a specific DNA or RNA sequences which determine the presence of a gene and or organism in a sample.
- ECL labeled anti-digoxin antibody complementary binding species or specific antibody
- streptavidin complementary binding species coated magnetic beads under conditions known to allow the formation of binding interactions (pH 4-9, 1 mM to 2M salts, 0 to 10% detergents) allows the linkage of the ECL label to the hybrid complex by the binding of antigen to antibody.
- the complex is captured onto the surface of the bead via the binding interaction of streptavidin to biotin.
- the resulting extended complex of probes hybridized to the plurality of RNA copies of the original single stranded RNA or DNA generated in the amplification is then analyzed by the use of an ECL analyzer.
- a specific complex labeled with an ECL species could be achieved by the use of a probe sequence labeled with an ECL species which when hybridized to the plurality of RNA copies of the original single stranded RNA or DNA generated in the amplification forms a binding species.
- This hybrid complex, or said binding species is then captured by using complementary binding species coated magnetic beads followed by analysis using an ECL analyzer.
- ECL analyzer antibodies to DNA:RNA hybrids (FIG. 2).
- the amplification could be performed with a binding species such that said binding species are incorporated into the plurality of DNA and/or RNA molecules generated during the amplification process.
- Methods for this are well known to those skilled in the art. Examples of this could be the use of a primer (see primer 2, U.S. Pat. No. 5,130,238) modified to include a binding species said primer is then incorporated into the DNA+ strand by the action of RT on the RNA- species and primer 2.
- the DNA+ product would be a DNA+ species covalently linked to a binding species molecule.
- This DNA-binding species molecule could then be hybridized to an ECL labeled probe and captured onto beads via a complementary binding species for ECL analysis (FIG. 4).
- the DNA-binding species molecule could be captured onto a bead by hybridization, followed by binding to the DNA-binding species with a complementary binding species labeled with an ECL label.
- An example of the binding species could be biotin and its complementary binding species streptavidin. It will be understood that the RNA- and DNA+ (FIG.
- RNA-binding species 1) could be labeled with a binding species by inclusion of a nucleotide as described earlier which is modified to incorporate a binding species for example biotin and digoxigenin (Digoxigenin-11-UTP from Boehringer Mannheim, Indianapolis, Ind.), and biotin-21-UTP and amino-7-dUTP (Clontech, Palo Alto, Calif.) and ECL labeled nucleotides (FIG. 7) into the amplification reaction.
- the resulting DNA+ and/or RNA-binding species molecules can then be used in the assay formats as described above (FIG. 3).
- Beads which are used in this assay are typically those from Dynal M450 and M280 coated with streptavidin but other beads can be used so long as the beads can be para-magnetic and are in the size range from 0.5 ⁇ m to 10 ⁇ m. It will be understood to one of ordinary skill in the art that the capture oligonucleotide could be coupled to these beads obviating the need for a binding species (FIG. 5).
- oligonucleotides were made on an Applied Biosystems (San Jose, Calif.) automated oligonucleotide synthesizer using the ⁇ -cyanoethyl phosphoramidite chemistry (Beaucage and Caruthers 22 Tetrahedron Lett. 1859-62 (1982)).
